Description
本発明は、請求項１の前提部に記載のＡピラーおよびフロントガラスクロスメンバの部位の車体構造と、請求項６の前提部に記載の製造方法とに関する。 The present invention relates to a vehicle body structure of a part of an A pillar and a windshield cross member according to the premise part of claim 1 and a manufacturing method according to the premise part of claim 6 .
この種の一般に知られている従来の構造では、それぞれ対向するＡピラーが鋼板から形成され、車両長手方向に沿って配置された垂直なＡピラー内部鋼板を有する。ここで、水平に配置されたフロントガラスクロスメンバも鋼板から作製され、両端のそれぞれで、対応するＡピラー内部鋼板と溶接接続によって接続される。 In a generally known conventional structure of this kind, each opposing A-pillar is formed from a steel plate and has a vertical A-pillar internal steel plate arranged along the vehicle longitudinal direction. Here, the windshield cross member arranged horizontally is also produced from a steel plate, and connected to the corresponding A-pillar internal steel plate at each end by welding connection.
現代の車体では、重量を低減して燃料消費を削減するために、軽量金属または軽量合金、特にアルミニウムからなる素材がますます多く使用されている。軽量金属素材の剛性および接合技術は、車体構造に関して生じる問題を、各車体位置に正確に適合した素材の組合せや、適切な構成部材の組合せや、大量生産による低コスト化などの手段によって解決することができるという点で、従来の鋼板単独構造とは異なっている。 In modern car bodies, more and more materials made of lightweight metals or alloys, especially aluminum, are used to reduce weight and fuel consumption. Light metal material rigidity and joining technology solves problems related to vehicle body structure by means of material combinations that are precisely adapted to the position of each vehicle body, combinations of appropriate components, and cost reduction through mass production. This is different from the conventional single steel plate structure in that it can be used.
これに関し、複合車体部品を使用することが知られており（ドイツ国特許公開公報第１９８４３８２４号）、この複合車体部品は、車体外装の大面積の軽量金属部材と、これを周縁部で補強する鋼部材とからなり、これらの部材は、レーザ接合によって継ぎ目が封止されて接続される。鋼部材は、特に最終組立工程において、従来の溶接技術によって隣接する鋼部材と接続することができる。ここで使用される、複合車体部品を製造するために軽量金属と鋼とをレーザ接合する技術では、重ね合わせ接続部の片側のみ露出していればよく、したがって、露出度合に関して、例えばリベット接続など、両側が露出していることを必要とする他の既知の接続技術に比べて自由度がある。しかし、レーザ接合技術は労力とコストがかかるため、車体の大量生産においては、利用制限付きでしか使用できない。 In this regard, it is known to use a composite car body part (German Patent Publication No. 19843824). This composite car body part reinforces it with a light-weight metal member having a large area on the exterior of the car body and its peripheral part. These members are made of steel members, and these members are connected with a seam sealed by laser bonding. Steel members can be connected to adjacent steel members by conventional welding techniques, particularly in the final assembly process. In the technique of laser joining light metal and steel used for manufacturing a composite vehicle body part used here, it is only necessary to expose only one side of the overlapping connection portion. There is a degree of freedom compared to other known connection techniques that require both sides to be exposed. However, since the laser joining technique is labor intensive and costly, it can be used only with limited use in mass production of vehicle bodies.
本発明の目的は、所要の剛性を備える軽量構造を、大量生産での使用に適した接続技術を用いて製造できるように、Ａピラーおよびフロントガラスクロスメンバの部位におけるこの種の従来の車体構造を改良することである。 The object of the present invention is to provide a conventional body structure of this kind in the area of the A-pillar and windshield cross member so that a lightweight structure with the required rigidity can be produced using a connection technique suitable for use in mass production. Is to improve.
この目的は、フロントガラスクロスメンバが、長尺のアルミニウム梁部材と、その端部のそれぞれにおいてアルミニウム梁部材を延長しつつも部材全長に比べて短い鋼板アダプタ部材と、からなる複合構成部品として製造されることによって解決される。その際、鋼板アダプタ部材の一端は、それぞれ対応するＡピラー内部鋼板と溶接接続によって接続され、他端はアルミニウム梁部材とリベット接続によって接続される。軽量金属部材と鋼部材とを接続するためには、リベット接続がとりわけ車体構造に適していて、安定していて、低コストで、そして広範な各種状況に適用可能な接続方法であると実証されており、本発明の場合にも使用すべきものであると考えられる。フロントガラスクロスメンバとして鋼製梁部材に替えてアルミニウム梁部材を用いる目的である軽量化の度合は、フロントガラスクロスメンバ全体がアルミニウム梁部材として製造されるとき最大になる。しかし、そのようなアルミニウム梁部材は鋼板製Ａピラーに対してリベット接続によって接続することができない。なぜなら、リベット接続のためには、比較的大きい体積のリベット工具が両側から近接しなければならないが、接続部位には複数の梁部材が錯綜しており近接できないからである。そこで、低コストで有用なリベット接続技術を使用できるようにするため、長尺のアルミニウム部品の両側に比較的短い鋼板アダプタ部材がリベット接続によって接続される。そのようなフロントガラスクロスメンバは、好ましくは、複合部品として、最終組立工程前に事前取付けモジュールとしてあらかじめ製造することができる。このとき、鋼板アダプタ部材はできるだけ短くすべきであり、リベット接続のために必要な露出度合を確保するため以上に長くは選択すべきでなく、比較的長尺のアルミニウム梁部材による重量面での利点をできるだけ失わないようにする。そして特に最終組立工程において、鋼板アダプタ部材は、従来の溶接接続によってＡピラー鋼板と容易に接続することができる。 The purpose of this is to manufacture a windshield cross member as a composite component consisting of a long aluminum beam member and a steel plate adapter member that is shorter than the total length of the member while extending the aluminum beam member at each end. To be solved. At that time, one end of the steel plate adapter member is connected to the corresponding A-pillar internal steel plate by welding connection, and the other end is connected to the aluminum beam member by rivet connection. For connecting lightweight metal parts and steel parts, rivet connection has proven to be a connection method that is particularly suitable for car body construction, stable, low cost and applicable to a wide variety of situations. Therefore, it should be used also in the present invention. The degree of weight reduction, which is the purpose of using an aluminum beam member instead of a steel beam member as a windshield cross member, is maximized when the entire windshield cross member is manufactured as an aluminum beam member. However, such an aluminum beam member cannot be connected to a steel plate A pillar by rivet connection. This is because a rivet tool having a relatively large volume must be close from both sides for rivet connection, but a plurality of beam members are complicated at the connection site and cannot be close to each other. Therefore, in order to be able to use a useful rivet connection technique at low cost, a relatively short steel plate adapter member is connected to both sides of the long aluminum part by rivet connection. Such a windshield cross member can be pre-manufactured as a pre-mounted module, preferably as a composite part, prior to the final assembly process. At this time, the steel plate adapter member should be as short as possible, and should not be selected longer than to ensure the degree of exposure necessary for rivet connection, and in terms of weight due to the relatively long aluminum beam member. Try not to lose as much as possible. And especially in a final assembly process, a steel plate adapter member can be easily connected with an A pillar steel plate by the conventional welding connection.
アダプタ要素の長さは、部材全長の約５％〜１０％に相当し、これにより、リベット接続を形成するために導入される、例えばパンチリベット接続用のパンチリベット工具の型の大きさに相当する。 The length of the adapter element corresponds to about 5% to 10% of the total length of the member, and thus corresponds to the size of the mold of a punch rivet tool introduced for forming a rivet connection, for example a punch rivet connection To do.
フロントガラスクロスメンバが接続されるＡピラー内部鋼板は、下側のＡピラー下側内部鋼板と、Ａピラー下側内部鋼板に接続されたＡピラー上側内部鋼板とからなり、それらの接続部が、ほぼ窓枠の高さで、窓枠よりも少し下に位置する。そして、フロントガラスクロスメンバが、Ａピラー上側内部鋼板の下側領域に接続される。 The A-pillar internal steel plate to which the front glass cross member is connected is composed of a lower A-pillar lower internal steel plate and an A-pillar upper internal steel plate connected to the A-pillar lower internal steel plate, and the connecting portions thereof are: It is almost the height of the window frame and is located slightly below the window frame. The windshield cross member is connected to the lower region of the A-pillar upper internal steel plate.
好ましい実施形態の一つにおいては、アルミニウム梁部材が、上側の梁部材上側アルミニウム板および下側の梁部材下側アルミニウム板から製造される。その際、梁部材上側アルミニウム板と両側の鋼板アダプタ支持体部品は、少なくとも１箇所のリベット接続によって接続され、鋼板アダプタ部材は、それぞれ少なくとも１つの折り曲げられた溶接フランジによって、対応するＡピラー内部鋼板に着接され、その位置で少なくとも１箇所の抵抗スポット溶接によって接続が形成される。それに対し、梁部材下側アルミニウム板が、Ａピラー内部鋼板まで接近し、Ａピラー内部鋼板に、少なくとも１つの折り曲げられたリベットフランジによって着接し、その位置で、より良く近接できるため、リベット接続を直接形成することができる。 In one preferred embodiment, the aluminum beam member is manufactured from an upper beam member upper aluminum plate and a lower beam member lower aluminum plate. In this case, the upper aluminum plate of the beam member and the steel plate adapter support parts on both sides are connected by at least one rivet connection, and the steel plate adapter members are respectively connected to the corresponding A-pillar internal steel plate by at least one bent welding flange. The connection is formed by at least one resistance spot welding at that position. On the other hand, the lower aluminum plate of the beam member approaches the A-pillar inner steel plate, and is attached to the A-pillar inner steel plate by at least one bent rivet flange. Can be formed directly.
追加の構造として、Ａピラー外部鋼板が、Ａピラー内部鋼板に上から被さり、重ね合わせ接続部によって鋼板アダプタ部材の上に載置される。その下に位置する梁部材下側アルミニウム板には、この重ね合わせ接続部の下方に、溶接トングの電極を導入するために貫通穴が設けられ、それにより、Ａピラー外部鋼板と鋼板アダプタ部材の接続のための抵抗スポット溶接を形成することができる。 As an additional structure, the A-pillar external steel plate is placed on the A-pillar internal steel plate from above, and is placed on the steel plate adapter member by the overlapping connection portion. The lower aluminum plate of the beam member located therebelow is provided with a through hole below the overlap connecting portion for introducing the electrode of the welding tongs, whereby the A-pillar external steel plate and the steel plate adapter member Resistance spot welding for connection can be formed.
上述のリベット接続は、目的に応じてパンチリベットによって行われ、基本的には半中空リベットによって実現可能な強度で十分である。しかしまた、条件によっては、より高い強度および剛性を生み出すために、中実リベットによるパンチリベット、場合によってはさらに、対応する重ね合わせ接続部での接着を行うことができる。 The rivet connection described above is performed by punch rivets according to the purpose, and basically the strength that can be realized by a semi-hollow rivet is sufficient. However, depending on the conditions, a punch rivet with a solid rivet, and possibly even a glued connection at the corresponding overlap connection, can be performed in order to produce a higher strength and rigidity.
製造方法に関しては、本発明の目的は、フロントガラスクロスメンバが、アルミニウム梁部材と、リベット接続によって接続された鋼板アダプタ部材とからなる複合構成部品として製造されることによって解決される。その後、最終組立工程において、フロントガラスクロスメンバが、鋼板アダプタ部材によって、それぞれＡピラー内部鋼板に抵抗スポット溶接で接続され、必要に応じて、梁部材下側アルミニウム板によって、それぞれのＡピラー内部鋼板にリベット接続によって直接接続される。その後、Ａピラー外部鋼板は、必要に応じて、梁部材下側アルミニウム板にある貫通穴を通した抵抗スポット溶接によって、それぞれの鋼板アダプタ部材に接続される。 Regarding the manufacturing method, the object of the present invention is solved by manufacturing the windshield cross member as a composite component composed of an aluminum beam member and a steel plate adapter member connected by rivet connection. Thereafter, in the final assembly step, the windshield cross member is connected to the A-pillar inner steel plate by the resistance spot welding by the steel plate adapter member, and if necessary, the respective A-pillar inner steel plate by the beam member lower aluminum plate. Directly connected by rivet connection. Thereafter, the A-pillar external steel plate is connected to each steel plate adapter member by resistance spot welding through a through hole in the beam member lower aluminum plate, if necessary.
このような方法より、個々の構成部品の所要の接続を簡単に低コストで形成することができる。
本発明を図面に基づいてさらに説明する。
With such a method, the required connections of the individual components can be easily formed at low cost.
The present invention will be further described with reference to the drawings.
